To make all users on a system get the settings you want you would put your changes into /etc/profile, you can then surround those extra entries with a test for if the user is in a telnet or X session, depending on what Unix you are using you may have ptree (Solaris) or pstree (Linux) followed by $$ for the current PID and what the parent processes are.

i don't need to put it in /etc/profile i need the script to run for an individual user and i put it in the .profile successfully.
i just need to make the .dtprofile run the script as well as the .profile

Set the DTSOURCEPROFILE variable in the .dtprofile as:

Code:
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true

i've enabled DTSOURCEPROFILE=true but the the result was very bad. once i enter the user name and password the X windows close

Have you tried to source the .profile in the /.dtprofile?

Make the last line in the .dtprofile file read:
Code:
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true

~/.profile will then get sourced as well.
